Before HANSEN, FAGG, and BEAM, Circuit Judges.
                           ___________

PER CURIAM.

       Inmate Paul Reyes appeals the district court’s1 dismissal of his lawsuit against
corrections employees for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. He also appeals the denial of
his motion for reconsideration. Upon de novo review, we affirm for the reasons explained
by the district court. We also find no abuse of discretion in the district court’s denial of the
motion for reconsideration. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court and
the order denying reconsideration. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

       1
      The Honorable Donovan W. Frank, United States District Judge for the District of
Minnesota, adopting the report and recommendations of the Honorable Jonathan G.
Lebedoff, United States Magistrate Judge for the District of Minnesota.
